比较级和最高级的用法
英语句子中,将比较两个主体相比较的方法叫做“比较句型”。典型的是指形容词或副词所表示的质、量或关系的增加:其中,像“A比B更„„”的表达方式称为比较级;而“A最„„”的表达方式则称为最高级。
基本比较句型
一、两者相比(甲=乙,表示甲和乙一样)用“甲as+原级+as乙”句型
1、 Tom is as tall as Mike.
2、(倍数+as+形容词/副词原级+ as)
This rope is three times as long as that one.
3、(倍数+ the + n. + of)
This rope is three times the length of that one.
二、两者相比(甲
1、I didn’t do my homework so(as) carefully as you.
2、The picture is less attractive than that one.
三、两者相比(甲>乙,表示甲比乙强)用“甲+比较级+than+乙”表示
1、 Our city is more beautiful than any other city in our country.
2、 This rope is three times longer than that one.
(倍数+形容词/副词比较级+than)
注意:
① 在含有连词than的比较级中,前后的比较对象必须是同一范畴,即同类事物之间的比较。
a)The population of Shanghai is larger than that of Beijing. b)It is easier to make a plan than to carry it out.
c)His shirt is more expensive than mine(my shirt).(如果主语是物主代词+名词,那么后面要用名词性物主代词.)
d)He is older than me.(than是介词,后面是人称代词时用宾格)
e)Skiing is more exciting than skating. (比较对象可以是名词,短语,从句)
② 为了避免重复,在从句中常用one, that, those等词来代替前面提过的名词。
The weather here is warmer than that of Shanghai.
The radios made in our factory are better than those in your factory. ③比较级前一般不用冠词,但若表示“两者中较„„时”。 比较级前要加定冠词。若比较级后有名词,常在比较级前加不定冠词,表示泛指。
E.g. 他是两者中较高的一个
He is the taller of the two.
她唱得真动听!我可从未听过比这更好的嗓音了。
How beautifully she sings! I have never heard a better voice.
④比较等级应注意避免和包括自己的对象比。
any other + 单数名词
all the other + 复数名词
比较级+than+
anyone else
any of the other + 复数名词
⑤如果形容词作定语修饰一个单数可数名词,一般将不定冠词a/an放在形容词之后。
Our neighbour has _____ ours.
A. as a big house as
B. as big a house as
C. the same big house as
D. house the same big as
⑥在含有or的选择疑问句中,如果有两者供选择,前面的形容词要用比较级形式。

四、 三者或三者以上相比,表示最高级时,用“the +最高级”的结构表示。
1、Zhang Hua is the tallest of the three.
2、He works (the) hardest in his class.
3、That was the least exciting football game I’ve ever watched. 注意: ①用形容词比较级的否定形式,从反面来表示最高级,通常译为“没有比„„
更„„”

没有哪一本书比这本书对我的影响更大的了。
=This book has the greatest effect on my life.
考例: —Go for a picnic this weekend, OK?
_____. I love getting close to nature.
A.I couldn’t agree more B. I’m afraid not.
C.I believe not D.I don’t think so.
②最高级前必须用定冠词the,当最高级的前面无限定词the或有不定冠词a/an时,仅表示“很„„,非常„„”
